Description
The proximity effect in mesoscopic ferromagnet/superconductor ($FS$) Ni/Al structures of various geometries was studied experimentally on both $F$- and $S$-sides of the structures. Samples with a wide range of interface transparency were fabricated. The dependence of the effect on $FS$ interface transparency was investigated. The amplitude of this effect was found to be larger than expected from classical theory of proximity effect. Preliminary experiments showed no phase-sensitive oscillations in Andreev interferometer geometry. Various theoretical models are discussed.
